Are we really responsible/manifest everything that happens to us?

[Miss Hepburn]

The Admin has asked that we all quote only 2-3 sentences of others...we can always say the Post # if that helps.

We use the word "thing" too loosely. The context of the word. We do not create things that are outside. What we create is our reality. We are often attached to things and that is imo important. Physical things seem to affect spirituality and in fact limit our power to manifest often accepting things in place of self. We can also say what does not happen (potential), that which is not realized. In a way we can allow physical things to create in place. Many times things keep one from creating. Things draw our attention from self to become our attachment to be given up so that we can do. My thought as I was reading the word.

Thank you very much @lemex
What you explained was quite profound to me.
It was so profound that I actually felt a shift in my internal dialogue, which is huge……

The two extremes,

''I am responsible for everything that happens to me, I (can) have full control, I just need to have the right feelings and I can ''manifest'' whatever I want, my desires are everything, I am a (potential) God'' ~ Gnosticism, New Age, Solipsism, Libertarianism, Sith Lords.

''I am not responsible for anything that's happening to me, it's all out of my control, there is no agency, everything is deterministic, I need an authority to elevate me'' ~ Socialism, Communism, Materialism, some Spiritual paths, Christian paths that believe in predetermination, AI of the Matrix.

The two extremes are not so easy to see or accept……for example how can one speak of being a potential god if there is no existence of a realized god ?

in my understand and know this will change
every thing is what it is this can be changed but depends how much energy you want to put in it eg like manifesting car parks

the mind creates that its meanings, truths, in its beliefs and judgements extra this can be changed in a moment with new perspective
you are responsible in how you percussive every thing in the moment

so its not whats happens that's important but how you perceive it

Very nice V. We find truths we hold have been held for a long time and hold the feeling of no energy, no effort. We experience that energy.
